You don't need to maintain any document specifying whether you've identified this. You'll be asked by how you maintain the tools? Whether you do it internally or it is outsourced. Accordingly, you'll need to maintain the necessary documentation. Eg. If you are doing tool maintenance inhouse, you'll need to maintain a list of tools, preventive maintenance records, breakdown maintenance records, tool history cards, etc.

If tool maintenance is outsourced, you'll have to document it in the process map.

Which clause is applicable for Perishable tools? I have a case where the operator has not changed the perishable tool (cutting tool) as per the schedule. Which clause should I consider for Non-conformance.

Good day @SREEDHARA HN ;
Remember, ....
1- The standard applies to the standard's requirements AND ".....the organization's OWN requirements
2- Internal auditing should focus on your organization's processes...and there is no requirement to identify a standard's clause as result of internal auditing reporting. (i..e a nonconformity can be written against your organization's own process and not be associated with a clause in any way).


8.5.1.6- d) describes a program for managing perishable tools.

Hope this helps.
Be well
